Thanks to Suzanne Collins for the characters, but I wanted to think about Peeta's double personality he's dealing with thanks to the Capitol.

Listened to a lot of music: We Remain- Christina Aguilera, All Shook Up-Avila, Dead to Me-Simon Curtis, Temper Trap-Sweet Disposition


Peeta POV (Catching Fire/Mockingjay)

If I was sane

I'd want you to stay

But when I look at you

I just see a dark space

And I need it

Gone.

If I was sane

I'd tell you to breathe

I'd stop your glare, and hope to unfurl your brow

I could take the chance

And say how beautiful you are.

If I was sane

I'd be brave with you

I'd take your hand

And when it mattered most

I could say that I was there- for you.

If I was sane

I could tell you

How much you matter

It's important that you remain

If I was sane

I'd tell you about the light

The one at the end of the tunnel

You'd understand my fear.

If I wasn't insane

I could tell you how I feel like fuse.

I've been lit,

And you gotta get out

Before we both dissolve into nothingness.

If I was sane

Couldn't we have tried?

I messed up, and I'm never going to get to apologize.

I must have loved you a lot, because that part of me fights everyday. He's clawing to get to surface. I feel like I'm drowning.

I should accept that I love everything I hate.

My head says no, and my heart tells lies.

I've slowed down and I can see all the things it steered me into. It's steered me into one too many lies.

I need to believe myself when I say,

That I'm giving up on you.

If I was sane

I'd hate me today.

I'll hate me tomorrow.

Eventually you'd be able to hate me enough, so that I can stop.

Stumble

And be left

To fall

As a sinner, so you can remain. Katniss
